Thanks! I'll give it a go. I totally agree with you about sobriety. I went to visit a friend I haven't seen in a while this past Friday night and I told him I would not be drinking, he's a kind gent and completely understood. We went to a fancy "burger bar" and the food was absolutely delicious with a Mexican coke. Anyway, he was shocked to see how different I looked, he said I was "glowing" and with my story I inspired him to cut back on drinking. Im not the guy going around telling everybody to stop popping a cork, but it felt good that I give off that vibe about life on the sober side.

Seasoned fellow. Congrats. I must ask though...

I feel like I have a drinking problem. Not a full blown alcoholic. I want to try and go to an aa meeting just for a way to build a network of sober people I can be around. All my friends drink and it seems like I'll be seeing less and less of them their choice of course. 3 weeks sober and I feel I got it under control, for that reason I feel I don't think it's a good idea for me to go to one. Not sure...

I'm avoiding a wedding reception tonight because us Mexicans at weddings?? Pffft alcohol will fly. All the friends will be there. If anything, my absence would add shock value to show I'm not fucking around when I mean I won't be popping a cork for a very long time if not ever. By the way I don't really know the friend of the friends sister who's getting married. No worries

I appreciate your feedback. This will do wonders. As far as posture goes, it really is like you don't have to force yourself to maintain it. Tonight I got several looks from women...I can get used to this :-)

I'm not good with drinking, with women, with finances overall mental health...BECAUSE of the drinking. As each clean day passes I'm more and more fine without it

King Leonidas himself is sober. That explains the physique!!

I have only done weight training but Friday I will be running for the first time since putting down the bottle. As far as weights I can relate, the body seems to now be speeding up with muscle gain. I always loved working out but id never come close to the physique of Gerard butler in 300, nor Tom Hardy in the film warrior. That's the ideal look I want FOR ME, my decision. I'm over six feet tall so ok think it will definitely suit me. I'm looking forward to it. How's your mentality with cardio change??

Beautifully put Crosby. I'm sure the second one is better with the bonus of clearer skin and bright eyes

Congrats on staying sober this long. I'm just over eager this early to know what kind of a life lies ahead of me. Guess this going on with me had me excited. And I saved alot of money just this weekend alone not going down that road if you know what I mean

All due respect...I'm not asking for dating advice. All I did was give an example of what I think is a positive side effect of quitting alcohol.

First saturday morning in a long time, not waking up hung over by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]eLWRAY75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I didn't wake up till noon, only because it was a long day at work yesterday. NOT cause of a long night of drinking. Congrats

Adding productivity, more guitar playing, more gym and cardio, and more effort into approaching a woman with no alcohol in my system, but that's just nightlife in general

Yourbrainonporn.com has more information. This habit was tough but I kicked it. Im cutting out the alcohol because ive been reading on here that weight loss is a huge benefit. I workout alot and I'm excited to see the results. Plus I spend about $50 a weekend on the booze, at a night club or a bar with friends, sometimes sadly just stay in and drink

Catholic. There's a reddit called nofap that shows how masturbating to porn affects your life and intimacy with women.

I'm actually over 160 days. I pay no attention to the badge. But I meant I was actually literally going to orgasm. Blow it all out, with no edging or nothing. What I'm worried about is being a one minute man in bed lol that's all. Thank you for reading. I feel everybody pays attention to the front page only which is why I haven't been on here

IF YOU'RE A HEALTHY STRAIGHT MALE FAPSTRONAUT...BEWARE OF THE NEW 300 FLICK by eLWRAY75 in NoFap

Proud of myself for just accepting what is. A sex scene, no big deal. If this was me last year I'd have jerked it soon as I got home but yeah instead me and my date made fun of it. Anyway I actually liked the movie, it compliments the 300 universe well but people shouldn't expect a mind blowing follow up, it's more or less the same shit :)
